Dark Souls II Summary

Latest news

The skulking rumour of RPG Dark Souls III has been slain by the fact it actually does exist. IGN has revealed a promotional image for the From Software developed sequel which has 'Early 2016' stamped on it.

The E3 image shows an armour-clad hero looking a little rough. It was believed a new entry in the unforgiving RPG series would appear this month at E3 2015 next week, and now it seems it will.

It seems leaks have sprung for Dark Souls III which is rumoured to be appearing next week at E3 2015 in California. The tough-as-nails RPG has also let some alleged screenshots surface, according to YouTube channel The Know.

They also claim to have some of the very first details, like how a PC version is 'negotiable'. It will support 1-4 players, 10 playable classes, 45 new enemies, 15 new bosses, 60 mins of cutscenes, and even 'sword fighting arts'.

From Software has released a patch for the PC version of Dark Souls 2 that fixes a particularly irritating bug which degraded your weapons at ridiculous rates when you struck enemy corpses or environmental objects.

Weapon durability mechanics are, of course, unforgivable at the best of times, but this bug made the issue much, much worse - the decrease rate was tied to your frame rate, which meant if you were running a 60FPS game all your hard-earned magical swords would snap like kindling if you so much as stumbled against a door.

Dark Souls 2 was patched yesterday, and along with the gameplay adjustments we were promised, there's a few surprises for those that manage to complete its final boss fight. *Spoiler Klaxon Initiated*

The new patch is a free update released in preparation for the forthcomingScholar of the First Sin Edition, which will charge players full price again if they want to get the graphics we were promised in the first place. NOT THAT I'M BITTER.
